Testimonials

Our Helping Hands live-in Carer is worth her weight in gold. She has been absolutely marvellous and very flexible coping with disturbed nights, we are very grateful indeed for all her efforts. If you had ten more carers exactly like ours we would be very, very lucky indeed.

Maggie is really happy with Agnes. She said she is already so in tune with her parents' needs, particularly her mother. Agnes has addressed a couple of small issues with Margaret directly because she knows that Ruth worries about things and Margaret is grateful for her doing so. She also said that Agnes is very sensitive to their needs and is flexible in her approach and is cooking them much more exciting food and with lots of variety. Her driving is also excellent and she seems very confident. From Maggie's point of view she ticks all the boxes!

What a star Selinah is, she is like a ray of sunshine and has made Lionel one exceptionally happy man at the time in his life when it is so very important. Selinah spends time planning and cooking a well balanced, varied diet, the house is always clean and tidy and she is at ease speaking with the doctor or DN should the need arise.  Selinah is in our eyes not as Lionel’s carer but a very much loved member of our family. Our thanks to you all for finding such a treasure

James, at head office was so helpful, making what was a crisis regarding my mother. into a situation that could be resolved taking away all the anxieties that one experiences in a situation like this. Very impressed by how smoothly everything has gone from initial contact to being given start date for carer. Thank you.

I just wanted to say a big "Thank You" for letting us have Jacqueline for a couple of weeks. Before she came, my mother was saying "I don't want a stranger living in my house" and telling all her friends that she had to have "this carer" "who was foreign" etc etc. to help her cope after a major op. Within 24 hours of Jacqueline arriving, Mum was really happy and by the end of the two weeks there were tears that she would be going. That speaks volumes for Jacqueline because she understood that Mum needed her space but also needed company and someone to help with everyday tasks after her op.

I first read about Helping Hands in the WI Magazine, WI Life, and the glowing report in there made me think that your organization was well worth knowing about and I'm glad that my brother, Colin, did get in touch and ask you to help.

Please do pass on my warmest thanks to Jacqueline.

Very fast easy and reassuring process to go through at a very difficult time

A very helpful team - from start to finish service is efficient and the follow up when carers in place cannot be faulted
